The Steorn Permanent Magnet Motor Replication Project: It's FLUX time.

[Speedy23]

Just a quickie -  can anyone with access to a model railway track and a truck, some mu-metal , 3 magnets and a spring balance verify that the main principle of the LEMA (i.e. that the force required to move the shield is much lower when balancing magnets are used) is in fact true, and if so, what order the difference is. I am wondering if the reason that the prototypes are described as generating "mechanical power" is that the motion generated is RECIPROCAL rather than ROTARY. Think steam engines.......also, how any form of mechanical cam is used to set the timing of the shields and/or magnet rotation thus achieving slow approach/rapid recession...might this  also be governed by shaping the shields appropriately. Is the significant bit in the interview the mention of "six fields"......

Well, I'm going with the idea that the LEMA has nothing to do with producing overunity. That is what Steorn is saying and according to this project we have to try and replicate what they claim to have made.

Actually, I'm glad of this. Honestly, for the laymen building a simple arrangment of magnets is indeed possible, but switching and more complicated circuits might be out of our league.

The LEMA has EVERYTHING to do with it.

Trajectory is BS.  You have to shield - period.  Otherwise, the field vectors won't allow it to run continuous.  Shaun has his balls in the skillet an he's trying to get them out by throwing some BS variables into the equation.

Shaun's original response to the patents question:
"Hi, the patent refered to (the low energy magnetic actuator) is not a patent on the core steorn technology. Due to the fact that the US patent office does not allow patents with this claim we have filed a sequence of patents wich describe various aspects of the technology.

The patent refered to is at the PCT stage and hence is available to the public. Our other patents are currently pre-PCT and will move to the PCT phase (and hence be available to the public) in the near future.

Thanks,

(EDIT) "Cache" - is close but hasn't built one or he would have it nailed down.  By the way, the images on Steornquest.com (same as the ones on simplemotor.com) will not work as shown.

Dear JackFrost,

Would you be so kind as to enlighten us what modifications are needed to make them work?

Steorn has said that the LEMA has NOTHING to do with their overunity technology. Also, they have said they are not using magnetic shielding.

However, can't you manipulate the flux of one magnet with another magnet's flux? Could it be that by now they have found ways of manipulating the flux to eliminate the sticky points rather than using the LEMA?

My hope is that they are not lying to us. Sean McCarthy sounds ike an honest and trustworthy person to me, and I don't want to think he would mislead us.
